In an election cycle in which the course of the nation could be radically altered at the federal level, no less an upheaval might also occur in Grant County where its commission enlarged itself from 3 to 5 members and three of these seats are on the ballot. A slate of three Democrats under the PVA / Progressive Voters Alliance banner swept the primary with victories in all three districts.
